In 2005 Briscoe raced for Target Chip Ganassi Racing in the Indy Racing League until September 11, 2005 when he was involved in an enormous crash at Chicagoland Speedway, breaking both clavicles among other injuries. He was released from the hospital on September 19. As it is expected it will take 8 weeks for him to recover from injuries sustained in the crash, he is unlikely to race in any of the remainder of the season.
